Document Summary
Midlife: parents and children are living together in one home, with the parents being 45-64 years of age and the children are older. Currently the baby boomers make up this cohort, in 2011 the baby boomers were between 45 and 64 years of age at nearly 4. 4 million they outnumber individuals who are aged 15 to 24. The median age for the canadian population is 39. 9. The increasing aging population: the median age went from 40. 1 to 40. 6 between 2012 and 2016. Parents at midlife: this is the longest stage of life and also very diverse. Bimodal in that there are two peaks, the younger group and the older group both of which could be first time parents or parents of older children, while others could perhaps be grandparents by 60/65. Midlife is based on age and not their status as a parents.
